Gone but not Forgotten: 10 Fashionable Dramas that were cancelled too soon

The O.C., Gossip Girl, Desperate Housewives: Everyone’s got a guilty pleasure show about the scandalous lives of the privileged. If we’re being honest, none of these shows are particularly deep and the stories they tell are all the same. So why do some shows fail where others rise to iconicism? Here are 10 fashionable dramas that were cancelled too soon…

What’s it about? A set of identical twins who were separated at birth. One’s a rich bitch (Suttton), the other (Emma) is a poor foster kid with a heart of gold. Now, at the age of 16, Sutton decides to go looking for their birth parents and asks Emma to assume her identity in the meantime. Things get complicated when everyone starts liking Emma better than the real Sutton, including her hunky boyfriend Ethan.

What works: The mystery of the twins parentage is very compelling. Why would anyone murder to keep the identity of their parents a secret and why were they split up?

What doesn’t: Emma is the worst. Stop whining. Stop being such a goodie-two-shoes.

What works: The fashion, the music, the chemistry between Austin Butler and AnnaSophia Robb, Katie Findlay’s Maggie.

What doesn’t work: Making a prequel to an HBO show on The CW. And setting Sebastian up as Carrie’s one true love when you’re addressing an audience that is familiar with Sex and the City and a certain Mr. Big.

What’s it about? On the eve of her second wedding, a woman wonders about the What ifs of her adult life and is transported 20 years back in time to the eve of her first wedding and seizes the opportunity to live her life over.

What works: The nineties nostalgia. From chokers, to raves, to video stores, this show is a beautiful trip down memory lane for any nineties kid.

What’s it about? As a kid, Danny Desai murdered his aunt. Now, at 16, he is released from juvi and permitted to go back to school where he attempts to reconnect with his childhood friends Jo and Lacey. But when a fellow student is found dead in her house, Danny becomes the prime suspect in her murder.

What works: The premise is pretty grim and original. And the unreliable narration keeps you on the edge of your seat – did Danny take the blame for somebody or is he in fact a sociopathic murder child?

What doesn’t work: The love triangle. It’s completely unnecessary and feels forced. Especially since Danny doesn’t have chemistry with either of the girls.
